Human perception. Virtual Reality. The resolution of your brain. Please watch half of this video!

So, this week – instead of a reading on the subject – please watch the second half of this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDu-cnXI8E8&ab_channel=RuthalasMenovich

(This channel has some fun stuff on it as well.)

At the very least – watch the second curly haired presenter. He tarts around 42 minutes.  Use full screen to take advantage of the illusions.

For bonus points: watch the whole thing and be ready to talk about FB vision for VR.

Bonus Readings:

“The basic effect of the virtual reality world is to simulate the neurological conditions that might be experienced in memory and learning disorders. This insight is a good thing, as neuroscientists move closer and closer toward effective treatments for those disorders.” :   http://motherboard.vice.com/read/why-the-brain-cant-make-sense-of-virtual-reality?utm_source=mbfbvn

Sept 8th 2016 – Pressure Project 1

Pressure Project #1: Generator

Time limit: 5 hours max!

Specific resources needed for this project: Isadora; and the Shapes Actor and Jump++ Actor within.

Required Achievements:

Consider: Conway’s Game of Life

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2vgICfQawE

Further Consider Cellular Automata: https://www.google.com/#q=cellular+automata

Primary goal:

Create a generative patch in the Isadora programming environment that integrates the use of the Shapes Actor, Jump++ Actor, Eyes or Eyes ++ and ANY other actor(s) that you choose to develop a self-generating patch.

After initializing the patch (“pressing a button”) the patch runs it self through a visual sequence of movement and behavior.

Secondary goal: Maximize the amount of time it takes for the novice viewer of the patch to grok the patch’s behavior. (Grok: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grok)

Other Isadora Actors of note for this project: All of the actors under the Calculation heading. But specifically: Random, Wave Generator, Smoother, Curvature, Comparator, Counter, Scale Value, Calculator, Logical Calculator, Inside Range, Hold Range,

This Project is: Pass / Fail | Artistic visions/considerations are highly valued.

Isadora Updates

Mark recently updated Isadora …
Check out the release notes.

It changes the ways that videos are assigned to the stage.

Myo to OSC

Hey there everyone.

Here is a video those missing steps of getting the Myo up and working:

And here are the links that you would need:

https://github.com/samyk/myo-osc for the Xcode project

https://www.myo.com/start/ for the Myo software

Remember, that this is a very similar process to getting the Kinect, or any number of other devices connected to your computer and Isadora.

Please let me know if you have any questions, or if you would like to borrow the Myo and try to do this yourself.

Best!
